Transitions pulled via jira-python is different than what is seen on JIRA issue itself?

[Deleted user]

issue = jira_client.issue(issue_key, expand='changelog')
changelog = issue.changelog
transitions = []

for history in changelog.histories:
    for item in history.items:
        if item.field == 'status':
            changelog_dict = {}
            if hasattr(history, 'author'):
                changelog_dict['author'] = history.author.name
            if hasattr(history, 'created'):
                changelog_dict['created'] = history.created
            changelog_dict['from'] = item.fromString
            changelog_dict['to'] = item.toString
            transitions.append(changelog_dict)











The above code is just a sample of how I am retrieving transitions for a single JIRA issue.

I am starting to notice that the transitions list I am storing my transitions in is storing MORE transitions than there are actually displayed in JIRA. 

Why is this the case?

Thank you.
